Visitors sailing into the flooded crater (or caldera) are greeted by dizzying cliffs with dazzling white villages plastered like dollops of cream on the sky hugging rim...
Boattours to the volcanoes :
The santorini volcano, in the middle of the Caldera, is one of the most
favourite attractions of the island. You can see some steam and frozen lava
formations.
Once arrived on the shore of the island of Nea Kameni, you can walk for
one hour in a 'lunar' landscape to finally see the santorini volcano's crater
and some holes where sulphur steam comes from. But you will have to be very
fit to do this.
The view ,once on top , is breathtaking. The islands, the sea and the
colours.
Then, back on your boat, it will take you to the hot springs of Palia Kameni,
where you can swim in warm sulfurspring water, very healing for your skin.
After that, the boat will take you to Thirassia, the other craterwall-island,
where you can enjoy a very nice lunch. The first restaurant you will meet
is the best,runned by the most dedicated people you can ever imagine, with
an extended view on the bay of Thirassia.
Most of all, you will be impressed by the incredible peacefull silence.
Finally you can end this fabulous day with a visit to Oia, famous for the
most beautifull sunsets of the world
There is a large variety of daily cruises on special traditional sailingships.
Like the King Thiras, she will sail you around the cliff sides of the ancient
crater and bring you everywhere. Longer trips are available. While the sun creates
colours and shadows on the white houses of
Fira and Ioa, you can enjoy a delicious dinner on board. There is a
very frequent daily ferryservice from Kamaribeach to Perissa, and it will
take about 20 minutes to get there. Perissa is well known because of its famous
waterparks and its sandy beaches.
There is also a daily ferryservice from Kamari to the "red
beach", a quiet friendly beach.
We can help you to make the best booking.
Come and enjoy our truly Greek hospitality.
